Day 1 of Ineffable May: In the beginning

I worked on this way too much.. I can feel my body dying for god's sake.

him 🧎🏻‍♂️

Hiii!!!! Does Crowley make spelling mistakes just as the rest of the demons? :)

Nope.

Lila dancing around with Five is so sweet 😭

Hello Mr Gaiman!!!

I just wanted to say that good omens 2 reached number 1 in Greece too!!!

Thank you very very much for this wonderful second season and I really hope that we will see a third one soon!!! (our favorite angel and demon need a happy ending as much as we do)

I hope we do too. Let's hope the studios see reason and the strikes are settled soon.

The fact that Good Omens S2 was SO QUEER.

Not Just Maggie and Nina (and Lindsey)

Not just Aziraphale and Crowley

Not even just Gabriel and Beelzebub (who is NB)

But the magician shopkeeper and his trans/NB spouse who wore a fancy early 19th century dress to the ball.

Job's son who was flirting with Aziraphale (hilariously played by Ty Tennant giving Michael Sheen heart eyes in front of his dad lmao)

Even the tough macho man in Scotland that Aziraphale borrows the phone from - using it for "Grindr".

Plus of course Michael, Uriel, Muriel, and Dagon also all being non binary/gender queer characters.

With all this, there was no homophobia, no one batted an eyelid at any characters sexualities, sexuality wasn't even brought up, characters just are who they are and like who they like. Its a non issue in the GO universe.

AKA my favourite type of queer representation. The same type found in The Sandman (show not comic).

And whilst there was plenty of drama and not everyone gets a happy queer ending (YET) there was no queer trauma to be seen. No hate crimes, no "bury your gays", no stupid discussions about how HARD it is to be out of the closet in a bigoted world, because the GO world isn't bigoted.

Its SUCH a BREATH OF FRESH AIR.

I know we have similar experiences in The Sandman, In OFMD, and even in WWDITS, but each time a new show takes this very new approach towards queer representation I feel like I'm once again sinking into a comforting hug from someone I love, who loves me back.

Its just really fucking wonderful to see. I hope we keep seeing it more and more often.

mindtober day 3: greed + day 5: for you
